Hi super8,

I would suggest you should include your family when you apply under FSW. If your plan is to stay in USA after becoming a Canadian PR you cannot sponsor your family, if you and family are residing outside Canada. When you get your PR Visa, after landing in Canada you may return to USA and complete your contract and then come back to Canada again. But keep in mind that you have to stay 730 days in Canada during the five year period to maintain your PR.
